Police who seized a record haul of MDMA (ecstasy) in Perth earlier this week have charged a fourth person in connection with the haul.

They say 31-year-old Fabian Quaid, who is originally from Perth but in now living in Manly in Sydney has been charged with conspiring to traffic a commercial quantity of a controlled drug.

He is known to associate with members of the Coffin Cheaters bikie gang.

Mr Quaid once provided security for Perth nightclubs but lost his security licence 12 months ago for regulatory breaches.

Police seized 45 kilograms of MDMA, last month before keeping a gang under surveillance and arresting three of them during a raid on a house in the Perth suburg of Lockridge earlier this week.

A 58-year-old man from Sydney, a 31-year-old man from Melbourne and a 39-year-old man from Queensland faced Perth Magistrates Court in Perth yesterday charged with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of MDMA.

The men from Sydney and Melbourne were also charged with importation offences.

If convicted of the offences the men face penalties of life imprisonment and, or, a fine of up to $825,000.
